2016-08-11 Tenaya Peak (10,301') x2

On our way to the trailhead, I spotted a bald eagle flying across Tuolumne Meadows. We stopped for an hour watching it. What a treat. So with that and the line at Tioga Pass to drive thru, we got a really late start. This was Scott's first time on this peak, and part of it was cross country. My memory was good getting to the summit. We had it to ourselves. After an hour we headed back. Scott found a use trail so we followed it. We got to a spot I wasn't comfortable with, and from there we got off track, kind of. We stopped to look at a map, figured out where we were, and a few minutes later we saw a guy walk by. We got out with plenty of daylight. We had a late dinner at home. and got a few hours of sleep before getting up to see the Perseids meteor shower from Minaret Vista with a lot of others who had the same idea. Great hike and got to see the meteor shower so it was a good day and night.
